making a new nest

you make it official
by opening all the windows 
in the house.
by beating the rugs
with a broom
against the fence.
a fresh coat of paint
goes on the walls.
away with the winter
clothes into the cedar chest.
you begin again,
just as the birds do.
imagining 
new love to come,
once more
making yourself a nest.
